that's nice considering tony blairs government started this absolutely shameful attack on the chronically sick . mostly when various politicians take up the call to change the activities of the dwp and the parasitic companies they employ to block benefits the reaction of the dwp is to change eligibility to even tighter regulations thus making every thing worse from the claimants point of view.

 

Thought you might like to share my joy: just got awarded zero points on my PIP application. The letter was filled with untruths and misrepresentations. The appeal will begin immediately.

Sending you strengthening vibes and a hug, @TheBassist. It's all such a blithering waste of time and energy. Really loathe these dreadful people. Good luck with the Mandatory Reconsideration.

I was awarded nil on my original application, and ended up with the max award.

 

One thing we can be certain of- that pages won't be getting any 'LIKES'!
